Whatsapp bot

Looking for a bot on whatsapp like the good old IRC Bots?
Here's one.

This supports searching Wikipedia by the command "Wiki term"
Also Google by "Google search term"
Try saying "hi" 

Update: The bot still works. But I'm not running it on my computer because I've switched to telegram messenger. If you'd like to run your own version of this bot, checkout my github repo.

How to make whatsapp profile pictures appear in gallery and set them as contact icon

Whatsapp stores its cache of profile pictures of your friends in the whatsapp folder of sdcard. But this is by default hidden from gallery.

To make them appear in gallery, run a file manager application like ES file explorer, and navigate to /sdcard/whatsapp/profile pictures
Here, you can see all the images (and copy if you want). Now go down and delete the file ".nomedia"

If the file is not visible, go to Settings in es file explorer, and in file Settings check show hidden files. You can find and delete the ".nomedia" file now.

And now you can set these images as contact icons by following the normal steps.

Extra tip: you can create a ".nomedia" file in any folder of your choice and the audio, video and image files of that folder will be hidden from the Android system.

Pencil project mozilla firefox cannot add objects how to add ubuntu windows 7, firefox 11

If you were like me, you loved the way pencil project looked, installed the addon, everything worked perfect, except when you tried to add a new element.
Trouble!!!! clicking the tool and then dragging in the canvas doesn't work, in fact that's not the way it's designed to work (although that's the much more intuitive way).
What you need to do is drag the tool/object you need from the collection pane to the canvas!! (OMG! that's life saving)
